Chapter 51
While Dark Matter was creating the virus, Ryan was on the phone with Arthur.
"I saw you on the livestream. Are you in trouble? If you need help, just let me know. Don’t try too hard to handle it alone," Ryan said.
Arthur was both surprised and relieved to hear Ryan’s voice—the lawyer who had once saved him. "My family is facing some trouble right now, but I don’t want to trouble you—"
Ryan interrupted impatiently, "Do you need my help? Yes or no?"
Arthur hesitated for a moment and replied truthfully, "I do need help. If you’re willing to assist, we’ll definitely pay you..."
"Forget about the money. I’m on my way now." Ryan hung up and stepped on the accelerator.
The streets were no longer congested at this hour. Ryan arrived at the food court shortly, parking his car by the roadside. He then blended into the crowd surrounding the Carter family’s restaurant, discreetly recording the most animated reporters and influencers with his phone. Meanwhile, his men, who had arrived ahead of him, were already gathering evidence.
The Carter family was still arguing with the reporters and influencers, displaying their ingredients one by one and showing everyone how fresh and clean they were. The reporters and influencers, however, tried every possible way to find faults, even bringing in a few diners to recount their unpleasant experiences of getting sick after dining at Local Fried Chicken.
Ryan observed for a few minutes, ensuring his team had completed their tasks before pushing through the crowd and presenting his lawyer’s credentials.
